How to actually use this keyword tool

A keyword list without a strategy is just a Word doc full of words. Here's how to turn this database into a real plan for your roofing website. Four filters, four moves.

01

Start with "easy" difficulty

Drag the difficulty slider down to 10. You'll see roughly 164 keywords most roofing companies can rank for inside of three to six months. These are your quick wins. Build pages for these first.

02

Filter by category

Trying to figure out where to start? Pick a single category — Emergency, Replacement, Storm & Insurance — and only chase those keywords. One service, one focused service page, ten supporting keywords. That's the play.

03

Sort by CPC, not volume

The volume column tells you how many people search for a term. The CPC column tells you what each click is worth. Sort by CPC descending and you'll see which keywords other roofers are paying the most for on Google Ads — which means those leads are valuable. A $5 CPC keyword usually converts to a $10,000+ job.

04

Map keywords to pages on your site

Each keyword belongs on a specific page. Emergency repair keywords go on a dedicated emergency page. Replacement keywords on the replacement page. Material keywords on material pages. The biggest mistake roofers make is trying to rank one homepage for fifty keywords. Build ten focused pages instead.

Why this list is different from every other roofing keyword list

Most "roofing keyword" lists you'll find online are static blog posts that were probably built by an agency intern in 2020. They have no search volume. No difficulty scores. No way to filter or sort. They lump high-converting emergency keywords in with informational fluff and give you no way to tell the difference.

This tool pulls from the Ahrefs API. Every keyword has real volume, difficulty, and CPC data. We refresh the dataset quarterly so the numbers stay current. We've stripped out the obvious noise. Keywords about pain in the roof of your mouth, Minecraft roof tutorials, and other irrelevant junk that pollutes most lists.

What's left is 245 keywords actual roofers can use to figure out what to rank for, what to write about, and where to spend their marketing money. That's it. No fluff. No upsell.
